Between the Dusk Border

Dizziness

Jehan came down after changing his clothes, went down the stairs, then walked to the kitchen, his mama was not in the living room.

The girl was sitting on the chair while putting the phone on the table, the clock has shown at 2 pm, the helpers must be currently cleaning the pool area and backyard, the office said, the atmosphere of the house also looks lonely.

"Don't daydream" Jehan gasped as he felt a pat on his shoulder, the girl looked up, the moment her papa took a seat beside her.

"Why not go to the office ?" asked Jehan in surprise

"Ngga, papa emang deliberately did not go to the office, work work from home only. Papa just walked out of the study." Jehan nodded his head. The girl smiled wryly for a moment.

He also resigned from the office, although he has not taken his belongings but it can be completed tomorrow.

Perhaps this was the best decision for him, perhaps it was already his time fighting back from the beginning, alone without the help of anyone else again.

"Dion telfon papa, said you resigned from the office ?"

"Hem" Jehan replied as he nodded his head.

"Why ?" Jehan turned his head, looking at his curious looking papa. The girl paused for a moment to look for the best answer.

"Gga papa, it's Je's desire to resign from the office" replied Jehan as it is.

"Hem, yes no papa anyway, papa support what is your decision" the man embraces his daughter's body, as well as providing encouragement for his daughter who is currently getting a tough test.

"Thank you" said Jehan softly, almost like a whisper.

"Eat, said your mother you haven't eaten since morning" Jehan nodded, the girl picked up the food on the table and began to feed into the mouth, Jehan ate slowly as if he was being lustless with food in front of him.

Night arrived quickly, as if swallowing a morning that felt so short. Now seen a girl who was sitting in a study chair, her hands began to open a small diary book in her grasp.

The atmosphere of the room was so quiet, it even looked so dark, only a small lamp with a not-so-bright white light that shone on the nightstand beside the bed, also a learning lamp that was only able to illuminate the table in front of Jehan where he was currently sitting.

The girl began to open the first page of the book, she was curious about whatever was in the book, so she chose to read it from now on.

This morning was the same as the previous morning, it was boring and sickening, sometimes I felt bored, even if it was only for a moment. I feel grateful enough to be able to go to school at a school that is a favorite school in the city, despite getting so many insults because of my life story, he said, but I never thought of giving up because I had such a strong purpose that I could stand in this place.

If you think about it, my story is very sad, I have no parents, no where they are, since birth I live in an orphanage, and I decided to get out of that place when I was 14.

But there is one thing that feels special today, I met the girl who made my heart shake, if I can be honest I like her, the sweet girl who always makes fun. Being the prima donna of a school that is known to many students, it may be the target of the men in this school.

Looks like the girl is in trouble, because she's making a fuss with the head of OSIS. Well, I don't think it's strange to see him get into trouble because he has often gotten into trouble because of his actions.

When I saw the girl running towards me, it felt like a dream, because all this time I could only watch her in silence from far away, I never dared to come to her. Haha I am such a coward.

But when the girl screamed a little while cleaning her dirty skirt made me realize, with a little nervous I took the initiative to clean the girl's dirty skirt, but the girl instead brushed off my hand, yes I realized, where would the girl be touched by a man like me, she was so perfect just to talk to me.

______________________________________________

Jehan was silent after reading the sheet, the girl was silent for a moment, why Kenzie's book told him about it, he knew because he had also collided with someone so he concluded that the girl in the story of the man was himself. And what was it, that guy had collided with him, he was never aware of it, even during school he never knew a guy named Kenzie.

"Wait, why is the contents of this book confusing" Jehan felt confused, finally the girl opened the second page.

~Second sheet

Dion was back to throwing tantrums, after the break arrived he came back angry just because I did not do the design of his task, when it was clear it was not my job, but he always forced me to do his job.

But when I was arguing with Dion, there was a girl who said our words, I was quite surprised to know that the girl was Jehan, the girl I loved.

It turned out that she was a great girl, completely unafraid of Dion, even as if she was challenging the man, perhaps because she was upset with him.

At first he insulted me because I didn't seem to have any friends, that was the first time we talked together, until I arrived where I spontaneously invited him to be friends, somehow I could be that brave, she said, but it was my spontaneity as he continued to speak and insult me.

But I didn't expect it when the girl accepted me to be her friend, happy ? of course, I didn't even expect to be his friend, as if it were a dream.

______________________________________________

Those were the last words that were on the second sheet in the diary, Jehan closed the book, sighed for a while, his head hurt, he never remembered Kenzie at all, as she remembers, the man she once met was Juna, her first love.
